“Takata recall, I was traveling down a side road and a car was pulling out of the driveway and I was struck on the passenger side of my vehicle, the airbags on both driver side and passenger side did not deploy. Car was deemed a total loss by the insurance company.”
NHTSA complaint #10927757, filed 2016-11, 100,000 miles“Takata recall. Nothing has happened yet, but I was not notified about the recall at all. I happened to find out about it online and my car is included in the recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11048583, filed 2017-11, 68,000 miles“Takata recall - it's been over a year we've been waiting for Toyota to provide parts for this recall - at least ventura Toyota reports they are still not available. This is a very dangerous situation. We need to get this repaired. Note - recall number 16v340”
NHTSA complaint #10994228, filed 2017-06“Takata recall. Nhtsa recall no. 16v-340. Can you help speed up when the remedy will be available? On may 23, 2016 Toyota issued a recall notice for our vehicle. They recommend we do not use the passenger seat until the recall work is complete. But they still have not made a remedy available!! It is january 2, 2017! I believe they have already exceeded a reasonable time frame to make a remedy available. The recall notice recommended submitting a complaint on the NHTSA website if Toyota is not completing the remedy within a reasonable time. …”
NHTSA complaint #10939034, filed 2017-01“My complaint is that Toyota gives me different answers each time I have called regarding passenger airbag recall. Recall #16v-340. Even if the passenger airbag explodes it can shoot metal parts across at driver or in back at passengers. I live in zone a and also drive to arizona which is a lot hotter than ca the last call I made to Toyota I was told they hadn't decided the best avenue to go!!! That tells me that they have not started on the problem!!! Maybe if things were made in the USA we wouldn't have all these recalls!!! Thank you.”
